Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the 47th episode of Toronto Mic'd, a weekly podcast about anything and everything, often with a distinctly Toronto flavour. I'm Mike from torontomic.com. Joining me as always is Rosie from mytorontoscoop.com and hosting the audio are the good people at Core Fusion. and hosting the audio are the good people at Core Fusion. Rose? Hello. Welcome to episode 47. Hello, Mike. How are you?
Starting point is 00:00:56 Good. I wanted my... Hello, my friend. See, you can't just do it like 9 out of 10 times and then deprive me. I get used to it. How's it going? Oh, then deprive me. I get used to it. How's it going? A week went by fast. Before we begin, I need you to, we have not discussed this. We don't talk unless we're recording. What do you think of my hair? Be honest. I think it looks great. You're just saying that? No. Okay. You really mean it? Yeah. I think it looks great. Monica cut it last night. Oh my God. She did a great job. Monica did it last night. In the kitchen. It looks really good.
Starting point is 00:01:27 I think in a previous episode, we discussed that I was going to let Monica cut my hair and it has happened. See, I actually thought she'd already cut it. She did. This is the second time. Oh, okay. Because I've seen you since the wedding
Starting point is 00:01:39 and I know you had said it was getting long. I don't think I told you it was cut. No, I did not. And I didn't notice because I guess I don't think I told you it was cut. No, I did not and I didn't notice because I guess I didn't look at your head but I'm looking at it now. Because you're too busy
Starting point is 00:01:50 looking at my pectoral muscles? Sure, right. I'm not a piece of meat, Rose. Come on. And I'm looking at your head. It looks very good. Yes. You are a very lucky man
Starting point is 00:02:01 to have a woman that can cut your hair. I would not even attempt to cut Scott's hair. Tell Scott, Monica, what kind of hair. I was going to say, maybe, especially because you guys are moving closer to us, which is so awesome. I will send Scott over to Monica. She can cut his hair.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Oh, speaking of Mimico, everybody wants to know if you saw the Stanley Cup last week. What? I was so disappointed. We were all ready to go. And then we ended up having a meeting at my son's school. Right when Dave Bolin was cruising down with the Stanley Cup high over his head. So we were so disappointed. But it was something somewhat urgent.
Starting point is 00:02:37 You were a correspondent. I had to go to the art gallery for a meeting. I knew I wasn't going to see the Stanley Cup. If I want to see the Stanley Cup, I got to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Right. King and Front Young? Where are we? Yeah, wherever.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I think it's at Front. Yeah. Front. It's on Front Street. I really wanted to see it because it was practically going by our house. But yeah, children. It's a thing. You have kids.
Starting point is 00:03:02 And it screws up your life. Doesn't your school know it's August? It's a thing. You have kids and... Why is your child... It screws up your life. Doesn't your school know it's August? It's a long story. That's another podcast. I was going to say, that's like another five podcasts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:13 We always talk about Lord of the Flies. Do you see this guy? This is like that episode of Breaking Bad when Walter White's obsessed with the fly. Did you ever see that episode? You know what? I've never watched Breaking Bad. I hear it's so good. I have to check it out. There's like a bunch of shows I have to check? You know what? I've never watched Breaking Bad. I hear it's so good.
Starting point is 00:03:25 I have to check it out. There's like a bunch of shows I have to check out. Me too. I have to do Breaking Bad and the one that you actually, I just read about it on your site. The Orange is the New Black.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Oh, can I just say something? Yes. You in the past, and funny thing is, I always think of this when I think of a show and I think it's, let's say it's written for women.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Don't say it. I'm not going to get you. Don't say it. I'm not going to get you. Don't say it. I'll say, oh, sexist, sexist cities and the city. I'll say, oh, that show's written for women. I still like it, but it's written for women. You'll like jump. No, this is the thing.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I feel, I feel sort of bad because I didn't. Here's the thing. Yes. I will concede that certain shows are directed to genders i will concede that but the reason why you got me all in a kerfuffle about that was because i felt that you were judging the show before you even gave it a chance and i just wanted to you to approach it from a gender neutral way i don't dispute that certain things are marketed to genders of course i mean that just makes sense but i the reason I got upset that day and I went all crazy
Starting point is 00:04:25 is because I actually felt that you were shutting it down based on because you thought it was for a girl. And that annoyed me because I thought that you should be, you know, bigger picture than that. If you only knew how many episodes
Starting point is 00:04:35 of Sex and the City I've actually seen, okay, and you know, I watched every episode of Girls. That's an awesome show. And that's because, of course I know that. And because I knew that, it bugged me
Starting point is 00:04:44 because I knew that you were bigger, you know think you were a bigger thinker than than that so that was why i was up in our i got all i got all crazy in that vein i must have been annoyed about something else probably in that vein i uh watched the entire first and only so far season of orange is the new black and uh it is really targeting woman like i want i want you and scott to watch it so i can hear what scott thinks because even monica thought it was actually a little bit weak she didn't love it but i have recommended it to my ex because my ex loved like felicity and stuff like that and this feels like felicity going to jail it's kind of watered down and it's weak but from the buzz you'd think this was like the next Mad Men or Game of Thrones or something.
Starting point is 00:05:25 But it's not in this category. But I want you to watch it and tell me what you think. I was completely underwhelmed. Okay, I'll check it out. And I don't think I'll follow it to season two. I'm kind of curious. I have to admit, I picked up a summer show. It's sort of ridiculous, but it's actually really good.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Suits? Have you heard of Suits? It's on Bravo. Somebody's in Suits that is Bunk. Bunk is in Suits from Wire? Yes. Okay. I know it because of that. And anything with Bunk in it,
Starting point is 00:05:53 I would give it a chance. It's just fun. It's just really fun. You don't need to have seen season one. This isn't like Game of Thrones. You can just jump in now. I think I actually jumped in like in the middle of an episode.
Starting point is 00:06:03 I don't even really like care what the plots are, but it's so fun. It's just really, really fun, a fun show. And, um, it's funny because it's, it's sort of a testament to Bravo because over the years, I mean, Bravo is on the, um, it's not on the basic cable, is it? It's like, is it one? Yeah, it's another tier. I don't know. One tier up. So we have like a one tier up. So we, we get Bravo. And over the years, I've always liked Bravo because it really does, I feel, like put some really good stuff on, like good movies and this and that.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And it's to the point now where if I see a show is on Bravo, I'll actually give it a chance just because it's on Bravo. Now, I don't have all the winners. Well, that's what I do with HBO shows. I do that. Exactly. It's kind of the same thing, except, you know, HBO, you have to like pay for, right? Whereas, you know, Bravo was a little bit lower down there.
Starting point is 00:06:42 So I'm like, oh, Suits is on Bravo. It must be all right. I have to admit, I don't think if it was just like on the network, I would have given was a little bit lower down there. So I'm like, oh, Suits is on Bravo. It must be alright. I have to admit I don't think if it was just on the network, I would have given it a chance. Do they swear? Can you swear on Bravo? I don't even know any Bravo shows. No, I don't think so. I don't think you can swear. So there's no nudity? I haven't seen any yet. A little
Starting point is 00:06:58 bit of nudity in your orange is the new black, which is kind of interesting, but not enough to kind of keep a dude sticking around, you know? I'm just just saying there's a little lesbian action. No, what you get on suits is like some, like, it's actually hilarious. Like the girls wear like these like cliche, like power suits and the men have like sharp digs. Exactly. That is exactly it.
Starting point is 00:07:19 That's what I think of when I think of women in power suits. The big long hair and like the stiletto heels. Like these stiletto heels could like slit your throat that these girls wear. It's awesome. It's really, really, really fun. Yeah. So, okay. Orange is in the new black.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I'll have it. No, that's just Netflix, right? You know, I haven't done the Netflix thing yet. I haven't. When I stop recording, I'll tell you a little secret about it. Oh, good. Okay. Because I have to say I'm at my maximum budget for entertainment.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Isn't Netflix like, I don't know, eight bucks a month or something. I don't know. Two of these coffees probably cost more. Well, you got me there. Look at this. I could have bought Netflix. And this,
Starting point is 00:07:54 I'm not sure how many episodes we'll be recording in this Toronto Mike studio before it relocates. I was going to ask you that. How many podcasts left here? Because Mike is moving. I'm so excited. Well, here's the thing. This apartment is mine until the end of September, but I have the new house in early September. So somewhere between those two days, it's like a cutoff and I have to figure it out. But it'd be probably earlier rather than later.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Okay. So yeah, this studio's got to get packed up and relocated, of course, which is exciting. And everything's in flux. I don't know when the last time you moved was. 2003. 10 years ago. See how quick I did that, man? So I mean, I happened to have moved two and a half years ago.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I move a lot, I think, but I'm moving hopefully for the last time. Maybe I can die in this new home. Is that okay? You know what? I saw your new home. And I actually took my mom to see it. We drove by it. I think you should die there.
Starting point is 00:08:51 I love it. You did so well. I already told you this, but you did so well. So you want me to die, Rose? It's so pretty. Well, I was going to save a big backyard. Monica could just, you know, because you'll go before her. She'll bury me?
Starting point is 00:09:02 Monica can just bury you back there. I want, like, the least hassle,friendly uh just body disposal after my death do you know that apparently like cremation is everyone it's not it's actually does a lot of nasty stuff to the environment whatever uh the guy nate fisher remember nate jr from uh six feet under that's another show i okay so no i don't know who you mean n Nate had, I shouldn't, actually, that's probably an epic spoiler. I should probably bail right now. Let's not do spoilers. We'll bail.
Starting point is 00:09:29 But they were in the, I should point out, they were in the funeral home business. Right. So you don't know. Okay. All right. So yeah, the move logistics, fun days ahead. We have to go to Edmonton. We have to go to Edmonton.
Starting point is 00:09:41 What are you going to Edmonton for? Her brother's got a wedding in like the end of August. Oh my gosh. Monica's family had two weddings in a year. Correct. That's so nice. So I have to go to Edmonton, but apparently Edmonton has nothing there. So we're going to go to like Jasper and Banff where there's stuff that could be like, yeah. And then just go to Edmonton for the wedding and then get back here. But it's kind of between now and the move is this Edmonton thing we kind of have to do. Well, you guys look like you're starting to pack things up. So. But we don't have her house here yet. Like her house closes in early September. So I'm going to have to do one trip that moves her house to the new house and then one trip that moves this place to the new house. So you're going to do Monica's stuff from
Starting point is 00:10:21 her house to the new house and then this stuff there. And then see what we have. Probably too much. You know what? You probably will have too much. Minimal. Keep it simple. I think you guys, you guys will be fine. You probably won't need, you won't need much. I already bought your housewarming present. I already told you that. I'm excited. I know. It's cool. Do you listen to terrestrial radio? Oh yeah. You like the talk radio. I just remembered you like your 1010 and stuff. Do you ever listen to FM? Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Be honest. Sometimes, but what'll happen is, because I actually do like to listen to the radio. I don't have satellite radio in my car. It's in Scott's car. My car is just radio and CDs. But there's something, I've always loved radio. There's just something about the connectivity of it. Like I love listening to the radio. I always have. So
Starting point is 00:11:09 I will check in when I'm tired of the talk. I do like the talking. I listen to all the talk radio stations. Um, but when I'm tired of the talking. You don't find it too conservative, those talk stations? Oh, they're horrible, but they're, they're terribly conservative, but you know what? I still, I don't know. I just, I like, I like the conversation. I like just the talking. I jump around though. And some shows are obviously better than others. And I'm never in the car for like huge periods of time. So,
Starting point is 00:11:32 you know what I mean? But, but I will like check into FM because I do like to hear the music, but the problem is it's so awful. I check out quite quickly. Do you ever listen to the Dean Blundell morning show on 102.1? No. Did you ever listen to it? It's been around like for 102.1? No. Did you ever listen to it?
Starting point is 00:11:45 It's been around for a while, I guess. No, I never. That's one thing. I never listen to the Edge's morning shows because it's just not my humor. It's just boy humor. So they target males. Yes. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I've come around. I've come around. Because you're absolutely right. They target teenagers, I think. Some boys. Some boys. So if I were to tell you that Toddy Tickles, a.k.a. Todd Shapiro, was fired from that morning show, that would mean very little to you. I read about it on your website. So if it wasn't for that, I would not have been aware of it.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Although his name does... Todd Shapiro sounds... You know what they call them on Humble andred i remember him as like an intern on humble and fred and they call them retod does that ring a bell because i mean as you might have heard rose i'm uh a big humble and fred fan that's ridiculous they call them retod this is back when uh jason barr was being known as danger boy okay yeah Humble and Fred like to dehumanize you and demoralize you with a crappy nickname like your husband got.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Oh, yes. Nothing can be worse than poor Scott. You know I can't say it. Oh, yeah. It's like cock lick. Except they wouldn't say the C. Cock lick. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:12:58 That's it. Oh, yeah. I'm well aware of how those two roll. So, okay. So, quickly after Humble and Fred moved to Mojo Radio 640, the re-Todd got
Starting point is 00:13:09 rebranded Todd Shapiro, and Danger Boy was rebranded Jason Barr, and now both have been fired. Now, that's interesting. So they were both fired? Yeah, at different times. Barr was fired over a year ago. Because Danger Boy, I think Scottott you went to
Starting point is 00:13:25 school with him didn't you i didn't i don't think i went to school with him but i i think scott may have i think scott worked with him cross paths with him and i think he was quite he's sorry he was quite funny so um uh that's fired so are people upset about this like are you okay yeah so that's no no i'm indifferent to it although jason bar hooked me up with like uh casby tickets and edge fest tickets and stuff so i was sorry but this is jason bar hooked me up with like uh casby tickets and edge fest tickets and stuff so i was sorry but this is jason barr is old news the new news is toddy tickles um todd shapiro being fired apparently uh this happened and i get crazy people like people will search todd shapiro fired and end up on my site so the comments for my entry about it are quite fascinating um how do howard and fred
Starting point is 00:14:06 feel about it were they like do they have a opinion on that because when they actually i'm they have an opinion and i have talked to them i've talked to fred about it and i'm not allowed to share their opinion oh interesting why is that just because of um just they don't want to be on the record if they haven't even acknowledged it on their show got it so i can't speak to their opinion except that it is interesting what happened there and i just wondered uh who's listening to dean blundell anymore it seems like young i know young people like it but i know that we're like pushing 40s we're way out of that demo yeah we are we that's and you know what that wasn't although you know
Starting point is 00:14:45 I had some girlfriends that loved his show like really thought he was yeah really thought he was funny he's not funny you know what
Starting point is 00:14:55 they thought he was hilarious my friend I used to work with this girl Krista when I worked at Skydome and she loved that show that like she thought I think she had a huge crush on him
Starting point is 00:15:06 she thought he was hilarious that's why when I say boy humor that's actually not even really fair because you know she thought it was she thought it was a riot but um um yeah you know he definitely I feel like the people that like his show really he really inspires loyalty because they're really into it like I don't think people just like it casually you either really like it it or you don't. That's the Howard Stern effect. People who hate him would listen more than the people who loved him. Exactly. I happen to love Howard Stern. But I actually, this is a roundabout way to ask you if you have listened to the brand new FM station, we have, it launched last week. It's called Indie 88. It's at 88.1. And I'm going to let you tell me your opinion on this new station. I love it. I have
Starting point is 00:15:46 been listening to it nonstop. I love it. I bike with it. Love it. You know, I don't, I know everyone's, you know, cynical. Oh, it's not going to stay this, you know, it's going to get blah, blah, blah. It's going to change. It's going to suck. The ads will appear. I'm enjoying the ad. Well, that's the thing. That's why I've been listening to it nonstop. But here's the thing. It is so nice to have... I think there's been some controversy over, is it really truly an indie station? Here's what it is. It's exactly what we need on the radio right now for people that still like to listen to the radio sometimes. It is an alternative. Alternative music, it's an alternative to the mainstream. I love music. It's an alternative to the mainstream.
Starting point is 00:16:25 I love it. It's so refreshing to have on. I'm actually sort of in shock at it, that it's got such amazing variety. Lots of pixies. And yeah, it's a very good mix. It's got everything. It's got a great mix.
Starting point is 00:16:36 And you know, there's some people that come like, oh, you know, there's Oasis. There's, you know, a little bit.
Starting point is 00:16:40 That's fine. That's fine. But that's not what they mean by indie 88. You know what they mean? They're not one of the big, they're not Chorus or Rogers or Bell bell which just gobbled up astral or chum they are a smaller company that owns this they're not talking about the music necessarily the station is not owned by one of the conglomerates i just love it to me it is just i
Starting point is 00:16:59 just feel like it has been years since there's been something on the in the toronto market dial that i can push and it's not awful it is not immediately i agree it's me angry it's so nice i like like 90 of the songs i'm really enjoying like it's a really and they're playing new stuff i don't know but i'm liking they're playing they play older stuff you'd ever hear yes new what new there's a lot of new i'm really impressed at the can con that the can band, they have been playing such an electric... Japan droids and all that? Such an electric mix of Canadian bands and really interesting stuff. There's this band,
Starting point is 00:17:31 it's actually funny, I had only really just, they'd only just come across my consciousness. It's this band from Winnipeg and I think... Crash Test Dummies. Actually, they're from Winnipeg. I think they're based in Hamilton now I feel terrible
Starting point is 00:17:46 because now I can't remember their name but I shazammed I heard their song I heard this song this gorgeous like folky folky type song
Starting point is 00:17:54 and I shazammed it and I was like oh my god and I was like oh my god it's Canadian keep going you might get it
Starting point is 00:17:59 I don't know it's pretty small and I was like oh this song is so cool I love it and I love that it's Canadian band it's so interesting
Starting point is 00:18:04 it's music I hadn't heard before and sure enough the first day i'm listening to 88.1 july talk and i hear the song no it's so annoying so annoying when i can't remember i'm terrible at remembering the band names but they're they're great it was so good i just i love it so we're happy with indie you know i'm gonna so happy they invited me to come see their studio what it's it's apparently it's like a laptop like it's like this studio i love it you know what it's all done through the macbook i was listening to it driving here and it dropped out for a bit and then it came back signal but i loved it but i love that like that to me was like i was like oh my god i love that it's dropping out because
Starting point is 00:18:37 it just shows how indie it is it's like exactly this is they have a request in front of the crtc to boost their signal to lose that wonderful quality. It's so great. Like I'm on Eglinton and it drops out. I'm like, that is so funny, but I didn't care. It's a very weak signal. It just means that, you know, it just feels like there's like some soul there.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Like there's some actual, it isn't just this big, yeah, the big machinery of ads, right? It's driving the music. And because, I mean, everyone knows nowadays on the radio that DJs don't choose their music. Like that's all gone. That's long gone. Are there even DJs anymore? I don't even think so no so it's pretty cool i love it it's like perfect this is just such a nice thing to have happen this summer a new radio station for when i i'm driving around doing my stuff so enjoy it while it's ad free because nothing's worse than
Starting point is 00:19:18 i bike for half an hour and i put that on i use tune in the app the android app they have one for iphones too and i love the fact i'm just going to hear music for this half an hour. I don't have to hear like three minute blocks of commercials, which I can't stand anymore. Like I've lost all tolerance for ads. Same. Because that's why I listen to CBC Radio 1 all the time. I don't have any ads.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Okay, so we agree on Indy 88. Yep. And would you recognize, there's a race car driver? He's an Indy racer named James Hinchcliffe. If he walked up to you and said, hi, I'm James. How are you? Would you know who he is?
Starting point is 00:19:53 I think I would because isn't he the guy from Oakville in the GoDaddy ads? He is the guy from Oakville and he does do GoDaddy ads. Yes, I would actually, because it's really funny. I buy all my domains from GoDaddy and it was actually i was getting really annoyed because i found that their advertising was sexist with the danica what's her face patrick yeah it's like really go daddy like honestly like it was starting to really annoy me
Starting point is 00:20:14 then i saw they ran a maybe they were getting feedback that you know women were not liking it and i noticed they started doing it with with this um james guy and, all right, okay. So a little male eye candy in your ads. I mean, I still think it's all kind of cheesy, but... Is he good looking? He's all right, sure. Okay. But I do know him, yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Two things. One is I did everything I could to move all of my domains away from GoDaddy. But that's not what this is about. This is about James Hinchcliffe. So Chevy invites me to this after Toronto Indy party. I guess it's called the Honda Indy, but Chevy won't call it that. So they call it the Toronto Indy. And I go to this party and it's called Hinch Town.
Starting point is 00:20:54 So Monica and I are at this party and it's fine. You know, Chevy's picking up the tab at the bar. We're having a great time. Where was the location of the party? It was like, oh crap, where was it? Like Queen and... Oh, so it's downtown. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:07 And it's a great venue. I can't remember what it's called now. But we're there and it's a great party. But James Hinchcliffe mills about like a guest. He's the guest of honor, but he's kind of milling around. He's like chatting up people at the party and kind of walking around the party. Apparently, it's mainly people at the party and kind of walking around the party apparently it's mainly americans at this party uh it was a really late night on a sunday and the americans were in town for the indie i guess and i don't i don't know how you get into this guest list but somehow we got on
Starting point is 00:21:33 it and i just thought it was strange that like i i just was like james hinchcliffe which is a guy at the party kind of chow uh uh chatting us up and i wouldn't I didn't even like really recognize him. He was just like a regular guy. It's like, oh, that's James Hinchcliffe. That's kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:21:48 I mean, now that I think about it, you know, I think I feel like I would recognize him because he was in so many, I feel like I saw him in so many bus ads,
Starting point is 00:21:54 like full life bus ads, but in his racing uniform. I'm not sure if I'd recognize him in just street clothes. He looks like a regular guy. He's not a big guy or anything. He's just a regular, humble,
Starting point is 00:22:03 he's, like you said, he's from Oakville, so he's got that, you know, Canadian humility built in, I guess. But yeah, that's, that's funny. I just thought that was interesting milling around with James Hinchcliffe at Hinchtown. And we're not erasing. It's totally, I gave the tickets away.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I had VIP tickets for the entire Indy and I gave them to a guy on my volleyball team for him to take his boyfriend. That's nice. Yes. And I didn't even care to go that's how much i am into the indie i went to the indie once um years ago scott had been covering it and he got some tickets and i was so not looking forward to it i was like oh this is gonna be really boring and it was so much fun and it was they did the other the racing of the other cars after um
Starting point is 00:22:41 i forget you know the nascar yes exactly yeah and that was actually even I found that hilarious because it was like it was like cars like the kind of car like you know it was like a Corolla or something it was all like souped up and it was so loud and crazy it was it was fun thing to do to do once um but it's hot I just remember being like really really really hot would you go back I think like you know if it was yeah if it was like you know comps tickets that kind of thing i would i'm not sure i'd pay to to go back you know um i don't know that being said it was it was quite it was quite fun it would be a fun thing to take uh although it's loud take nicholas too yeah it's because what is he he's three he's three yeah maybe when he's like
Starting point is 00:23:23 i'm still amazed i talked about it last week i'm still blown away he sat through five innings at the blue jay game i'm just you know it's funny it's such a spin i'm disappointed he didn't make it nine well come on i'll be honest with you he probably would have but i was bored that's the truth you know what the truth just came out you use him as an excuse my brother does that oh you know my son needs to go but no no my brother needs to go well i think so because my dad actually called because i was we were there with scott and my dad and my dad totally called i was like oh he's getting restless time to go he's like yeah you want to leave your board that's funny. My dad's a huge baseball fan. I'm not. I got a note here that you have been violated. Rose, listen, first of all, you do know there's help for you.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Like anyone who's listening who feels violated, there's people you can talk to. Tell me who violated you. It wasn't a person. It was a chair. Okay, this is... You're really curious about this story. Well, yeah, anytime you're violated, I want to hear about it. It was weird. It was a chair. Okay, this is... You're really curious about this story. Well, yeah, anytime you're violated, I want to hear about it. It was a weird thing.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Okay, so once in a while, I will go for a manicure and a pedicure. And I recently went... There's a place I always like to go near my house. And I went yesterday. Yesterday was the Simcoe Day. It was the holiday Monday. the Simcoe day. It was the, the holiday Monday. So my usual place was closed. So I had to venture to a new spot. Um, so I kind of just, you know, drove around, found one. I'm not fussy, went in and, um, as any, um, woman or man
Starting point is 00:24:59 that's gone for, um, to a spa for manicure, pedicure, often they will have the chairs that when you sit in the chair, it vibrates. So there's a little controller and it'll have all these different settings of vibrations and, you know, there'll be like little shiatsu things and all this kind of stuff. And you press the button for like a certain amount of time and you put, you know, do you want it to vibrate? Do you want it to rotate?
Starting point is 00:25:24 You know what I mean? It does all these things to you. Okay. It's sort of just fun while you're getting your pedicure. So I went in. I sat in the chair. And normally I just get a pedicure. I don't get a manicure because they don't last.
Starting point is 00:25:37 But I don't know. I was tired and they were like, we're going to just give you a manicure. A manicure is the hands. A pedicure is the feet. Exactly. So I get in the chair and I put my feet in the correct spot and the lady begins and I survey sort of the options of the rotation on the chair, the vibrations on the chair.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And I select one. There was one that was, you just press it. It was sort of pre-selected for you and it's going to work its way through your body. Great, fine select, I select one. There was that one that was, um, you just press it. It was sort of preselected for you and it's going to work its way through your body. Great. Fine. So I press it, it begins, it's rolling the machines, the chair starts vibrating and it's, you know, it's quite nice. Then the, um, another lady came and she's like, well, I'm going to do your manicure at the same time, which is, you know, that happens quite often. They'll do the manicure at the same time as the pedicure. So one lady's doing my pedicure. The other lady's doing my manicure.
Starting point is 00:26:27 So I am, I'm sort of incapacitated. I can't move. So the chair's going. Everything's good. And then I noticed that the chair had been rolling sort of on my back. And then it had been rolling on my sides. And then underneath my thighs. my back and then it had been rolling on my sides and then underneath my thighs and then this sort of rotating ball appears where i'm sitting between your legs correct but right between my legs like
Starting point is 00:26:58 it was but was this uh i was surprised i. Well, first I was surprised because it was quite, it wasn't subtle. It was just like, hello, here is a giant vibrating ball right where you're sitting. So I was like, oh, oh my. And it just, and I couldn't move. I couldn't, I couldn't do anything and I couldn't stop it. So I just went with it. And you went with it. It was really, it was an aggressive machine.
Starting point is 00:27:25 It was a really aggressive chair. Just surprising because, you know, I've been to a few different places, sat in a few of those chairs. Never had one go there. But this is, I don't think you're violated if it's consensual. I see what you're saying. Like, you opted in and you chose to remain. I would argue that was a consensual moment. I consented to the chair.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Yeah, the chair was really, really, I just. Did you set up a second date with the chair? I'm going straight there afterwards. Are you now going there every day? There was an episode, I think it was Curb Your Enthusiasm, where the chair would do that. The chair would give women orgasms. Well, it's just that it wasn't just...
Starting point is 00:27:59 It wasn't that the chair was vibrating. There was like... Penetration? It was getting there. It was it was it was like it was getting there it was really so i was just i was just surprised i was surprised because i've never seen a chair and then i'm looking i'm like you know it doesn't it's did i hit the secret button like what was the name of this setting again um i i want to say it was shiatsu shiatsu and where is this again i'm asking for a friend when we stop recording i'll need an address
Starting point is 00:28:28 i could give you the i could give you the location yeah i think you i don't think you were violated i think you were pleasured well it wasn't i mean it was it was certainly it was certainly like i said so surprising i'm not gonna say it was you know i didn't run you know screaming i mean what could i do it wasn't my fault And you did set up a second appointment right away. I'm not saying I wouldn't go back to the chair. It was very, very interesting. So here are the things that happen when you venture outside your, you know, usual spots.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Yeah, don't get a pedicure on Simcoe day. You know what? It's actually a terrible day to try to do anything. But yeah. Rose, I just got a note. I just got a real-time note. Apparently we're live somewhere. Cause this note reads that the statute of limitations on spoilers for six feet under
Starting point is 00:29:10 has expired. So I did not, I did not actually, uh, violate any, uh, code. I know your statute of limitations is very short. Like if it aired yesterday, you can blab about the fact that whatever happened happened. But I, my statute, I give it, yeah, you got like a short, weeks i say that's inappropriate i need i'm gonna say at least a year six months to a year minimum yeah we disagree this is fine we've disagreed we disagree but six feet under uh many years ago we're fine i can tell you everything about six feet under and it doesn't violate any uh i can also tell you about the ending of Sixth Sense. That's Statue of Limitation.
Starting point is 00:29:46 I can now finally tell you that I actually guessed the ending within the first 20 minutes of that movie. Do you know that I... Have never seen it. I was completely surprised. Completely. Rose, just because you don't think ahead in the movie. I did not think ahead in the movie. I do feel like I'm one
Starting point is 00:30:02 of those few people that enjoyed complete and utter surprise you know what it was fantastic it really was it was really lovely to not see it coming at all don't ruin the ending of usual suspects either do you know can i i mean can i tell you what happened in the sopranos i mean you're hilarious yeah sopranos is fine because statute of limitations has passed. Okay. Okay. And a couple of housekeeping notes. One is this lovely podcast is presented to you completely free. But if you felt like being generous,
Starting point is 00:30:33 you could pledge my Terry Fox run. Oh, nice. I do it every year and I skipped last year because I had to go to Europe during the run. But there's a link on the top left corner of torontomike.com. There's a link to pledge. If someone listening would cough up 20 bucks or something, remember that money, contrary to popular belief, it doesn't go into my bank account. It actually goes straight to the Terry Fox people and they do good work. So pledge my run. I'm running this thing in September at High
Starting point is 00:31:00 Park. And I want to say to the people at White Birches Cottages, they rent cottages near Huntsville, that I'll see them next weekend. Me and the family are going to rent a cottage near Huntsville at White Birches Cottages, and I'll write about that when I get back. So nice. You guys will have such a good time.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I hope it is warm. I think it will be. I think so. Promise? Can't promise. Do you have anything you want to say before we go? Have you rented any have you borrowed any new cars? No, but... Any more Hyundai's?
Starting point is 00:31:36 In the fall, I think I'm going to give the Santa Fe a whirl. Exciting. I can't wait to hear how it goes. I know. I'm pretty pumped. That's it.
Starting point is 00:31:49 That's all I got. On that note, on that disappointing note, that brings us to the end of our 47th show. Rose, did you ever think
Starting point is 00:32:03 we'd hit 47? It's crazy. You can follow. It is fun. You can follow me on Twitter at Toronto Mike and Rosie at Rosie in Toronto. See you all next week. Bye for now. Thank you.
